Source: NurPhoto / Getty Payless is closing up shop in the United States. The discount shoe store is set to close all 2,100 of its locations in the United States and Puerto Rico in the next few months. The liquidation sale began on Sunday and stores will be closing up shop in March, though most are set to stay open until May. Payless is also shutting down its online store. It could file for bankruptcy for a second time by the end of the month, according to reports. Founded back in 1956, Payless has more than 3,600 locations in 40 countries and over 18,000 employees, per its website. The international franchises and Latin American stores will not be affected by the closure. Payless first filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April of 2017, closing 400 stores in the process. It reorganized soon after, cutting millions of dollars in debt but it wasn’t enough to fully save the company.

Mariah Carey may or may not be pregnant with Bryan Tanaka’s baby . There’s been talk going around the Internet that the singer and her backup dancer are already an item, just several days after she split from fiance James Packer. That’s up for debate. What has been confirmed, however, is that Carey and Packer were in the middle of negotiation a prenuptial agreement when they broke up. And the details of the document are a bit unusual. According to TMZ, a draft of the prenup was sent to Mariah’s camp not long before this relationship came to an end, with reps for Carey rejecting it as “tacky and insulting.” Let’s take a look at various clauses and you can see if you agree, alright? This passage was considered one of the more controversial conditions of the proposed agreement: Except for gifts between them for their engagement, wedding or on birthdays and anniversaries, no item of jewelry and/or personal adornment costing over $250,000 will be deemed a gift unless accompanied by, or promptly followed by, a writing specifically stating ‘This is my gift to you.’ Look, all marriages should spell out who gets to keep which so-called gifts valued at over $250,000, shouldn’t they? It’s only fair. Elsewhere, Packer agreed to purchase certain items clothing for the artist… … but there’s a blank space for the couple to agree upon a maximum amount he had to shell out. The document also read that this clothing would not to be used for business or performing and “Mariah shall provide all clothing for her children.” Who are we to judge another couple, we know. If Carey and Packer were happy and in love, they could include anything they want to in their prenup. But it’s pretty clear they were NOT happy and in love, especially not when we see the kinds of business-like conditions they were putting on their romance. The singer and the Australian billionaire ended their engagement in late October. The reasons why remain unclear, but insiders close to Carey have deemed Packer to be violent and mentally unstable . There’s been talk that something happened between Packer and Carey’s assistance during a vacation in Greece a few weeks back and that the stars haven’t even talked since. It’s a pretty huge mess. James Packer Dumps Mariah Carey! This was another clause in the prenup: James shall cause a credit card(s) to be issued for use by Mariah and staff … the amount of expenses … shall not exceed US $____ per calendar month. The amount was blank. And also: James shall provide the use of one private aircraft, of his selection, for Mariah’s personal use, or that of her children and nannies only when James, in his sole discretion, determines it is appropriate to do so. What was the main reason why negotiations fell apart? This provision, TMZ alleges: James will pay Mariah, and Mariah shall accept, $6 million dollars per year for each full year of marriage, up to a maximum of $30 million … adjusted pro-rata on a weekly basis [$151,385 per week]. Carey supposedly turned down this dollar amount and is now demanding a $50 million payout from Packer, one that she says he agreed to make if the marriage fell apart.
Daylight Saving Time. It’s finally here, people. Almost. In just a few short hours, it will be, and when that time comes, we will in fact save daylight, turning the clocks back FOR GOOD. Or at least until March 12, 2017 arrives. Let’s break it all down real quick here: Sunday morning (November 6), Americans will come together and turn their clocks back. The savings of time? One … entire … hour. For all you Americans looking forward to a long, dark winter and the sun setting at freaking 4:00 on the east coast, it’s a thing of beauty. Which is virtually no one ever. But whatever. Hey, at least you get an extra hour of sleep! Well, unless you have kids who have no idea what the f–k is going on and just get up after X hours of sleep like they otherwise would. Okay, scratch that too. This sucks! Anyway, Daylight Saving Time remains inherently confusing for some people for some reason, which is why is THG is here to assist. See helpful graphics above. BAM!! If that’s still not sufficient, here’s a more detailed rundown of Daylight Saving Time 2016, and what you can expect next year, to boot: Daylight Saving Time began on Sunday, March 13 at 2 a.m. Time “springs” forward in the spring (how appropriate, as shown in the diagram below) and “falls” back by one hour (above, also fitting). TIP: Set your clocks ahead an hour before you go to bed. OR stay up until 2 a.m., turn the clocks to 1 a.m., then sleep. iPhones will do this automatically. Microwaves? Not so much. If you can’t figure out how to change the effing clock in your car, don’t worry. Make a mental (or Post-It) note that it’s fast until 3/12/16. It’ll start getting dark at f–king 4:30, as we said before. S–t. The concept of Daylight Saving Time dates all the way back to 1895, when the U.S. economy was much more agriculturally-based. In recent years, the duration of DST was extended to save energy nationwide. Translation: At least it’s not October-April? Standard Time is a misnomer, as it’s a shorter chunk of the year. In 2017, Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 12 (above). Arizona, Hawaii and Puerto Rico residents: Disregard. There you go, people. After processing all of this vitally insightful and crucial information, you can consider yourselves officially prepared. Up top!!
Amy Schumer is single at the moment. How do we know this for certain? Because the comedian has told us so, in the most Amy Schumer way possible. The Trainwreck star accepted the Charlie Chaplin Brittania Award for Excellence in Comedy at the BAFTA Britannia Awards on Friday and made X-rated remarks about her dating life in the process. Asked if she’s seeing anyone, for example, Schumer replied as follows: “No. My vagina remains vacant.” She then said the entrance fee is “at least five dollars,” which is a pretty outstanding deal, really. Schumer has sort of made it her thing to say outlandish things while accepting trophies. At the Glamour UK Women of the Year ceremony this summer, she joked that she may weigh 160 pounds, but she can still ” catch a dick ” any time she wants. Then again, we doubt she was really joking. At the Peabody Awards in late May, meanwhile, Schumer made out with Tina Fey in stage. It was hot! In this case, Schumer went on to joke about the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, telling the audience: “Watching the movie inspired my boyfriend at the time to take a trip up my chocolate river.” This was followed by a long pause and then the quip: “You guys don’t have anal over the pond?” Man. Amy Schumer is the best. Here are many other reasons why we say this: View Slideshow: 13 Reasons Why We Adore Amy Schumer

‘Ye and Bieber also chat about working with Wu-Tang Clan’s Raekwon. By Mawuse Ziegbe Justin Bieber Photo: Scott Legato/ FilmMagic Sunday (August 15) was an eventful day for Kanye West, Justin Bieber and Raekwon’s Twitter followers. The Louis Vuitton Don, the Biebs and the Chef chatted on the social-networking website about teaming up to record what would likely be a mind-blowing collaboration. It all began on Sunday morning when Yeezy typed that he had contracted Bieber Fever and was digging the Canadian teen’s music. “Listening to @Justin Bieber ‘Run Away love,’ ” West tweeted. “I love Sunday mornings in the crib.” About an hour later, Yeezy revealed that not only did he have the Bieber track on repeat, he shares a similar song title on his upcoming album. “But I have listened to Runaway Love about 10 times so far,” West wrote. “Ironically I got a song called Runaway on my new album too.” Rarely do the outspoken lyricist’s musings go unnoticed and soon Bieber began responding to ‘Ye’s Twitter props. “It’s not a so what moment for me. I’m 16 and a fan. I’m kinda hyped u are listening to my stuff. Thank u. Nice sunday morning,” Bieber replied. ‘Ye continued the e-love-fest and proposed that he, Bieber and Rae work on a track together. “I’m honored that you like my Music @JustinBieber!!!” West tweeted. “You gotta hear the album. Maybe we can do something together. Me, You and Raekwon.” After bringing up the idea of throwing the Chef into the mix, ‘Ye explained that Rae once jumped on one of his much-loved R&B and hip-hop collabos. “Yo [Wu-Tang Clan’s Ghostface] and Rae were on one of my favorite Jodeci remixes of all time,” West wrote. ‘Ye also suggested that the Staten Island MC should bring his Wu flavor to Bieber’s music. “Maybe me and Rae should hop on Runaway Love! FLEX would drop bombs!” Melding the gritty, boom-bap sounds of Raekwon with the cheery soulful pop of Justin Bieber and the genre-straddling jams of Kanye West might appear challenging. However, Bieber, who tweeted that he plays an acoustic version of ‘Ye’s 808s and Heartbreak hit, “Heartless,” said that he’s up for the task. “Me, u, and the chef 2gether on a song = EPIC,” Bieber wrote. “Might sound crazy 2 u but even having this convo is living the dream. Thanks.” Although Rae didn’t type a response to either artist, the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx MC did re-tweet Bieber’s reply.
